Shortcut to add new task (no widget, only shortcut)

niels.muenzner says:

Hello,

I like RTM & I subscribed to Pro when the Android app arrived at the market, but actually I turned to GTask, because their (unofficial) Android App supports a shortcut at the Homescreen so I can quickly add a new task to the Inbox, without opening the app etc.

Can't you please add this feature too? It is not so difficult like a widget and would help to fire & forget new tasks into RTM.

Would be great because RTM has better functions than any other productivity app.

Thank you very much!

This is now available in our Smart Bar and Badge widgets in version 2.0.0. :)

It's two clicks to add a task using the GTask-widget - and two click to add a task using the RTM-widget (you can use smartadd-syntax to fill in details for the task, when you add it - https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/smartadd/ )

Thank you - I did not wanted to run another widget (2x2) at my homescreen (gtasks integrates with the Pure Calendar widget), but I will give it another try.

Thank you for the hint

I personally do not like the "add task" box. It is very cumbersome when you want to add a task with parameters. This is true both on the web browser and on my android application.

Here is a suggestion: allow the user to choose an alternative task entry button, that open a dialog (or a pop-up chooser, like in Google calendar). The alternative entry method will allow entering all parameters, plus a note.

On the hand-held application such a "new task" button could be made into a widget, or a pop-up from the main button.

To quickly add a task, I use QuickRTM application (available there: http://ileauxfraises.appspot.com/).It simply sends the task by smtp to your personnal remember the milk address.So this app can also work for non-pro users.
